Mike DeFrees

I am married to my high school sweetheart, Meredith, and we have five young children. I have worked as a middle school teacher, pastor of a local church in San Antonio, TX and am currently an internal coach at 49 Financial. I am passionate about healthy family dynamics and have had the privilege of partnering with Paper Peony Press to publish books that align with my values. I am not the perfect husband or dad, but I am trying my best and am committed to showing up and giving my utmost effort daily. I hope that my writing, in some way, inspires readers to grow in their awareness of and presence to God and their loved ones.
